Why would 2026 Ubuntu need 6x the RAM that 2018 Ubuntu needs?
Just how much bloat are they bloating, here?

They're basically saying "Our software doesn't need more RAM, but most of what you run on it does, so this is a more realistic expectation for what will make for a good experience."

Because websites and browsers have gotten way more bloated. If you don't need a web browser, you can get by with a lot less RAM.

Snaps need that to be snappy.
